For those looking to bop to a slightly bouncier beat then look no further than The Pavilion who welcome dance devils Le Galaxie back to Carey's Lane on Saturday night.

Hidden amongst the Arthur's Day celebrations on Thursday is the official arrival of the new Coughlan's Live venue with alt-country critters John Blek & The Rats charged with cracking the champagne bottle against the bar.

Tracing our way back to the start of the week there are two seriously enticing sessions taking place. On Tuesday the precious tones of the incredible Martin Finke will charm and melt De Barra's in equal measure whilst ex-Citadels man Cormac O'Caoimh settles in for a cosy fireside session in Bradley's of Barrack Street.

UPDATE
Somehow managed to omit Terror Pop's final hurrah in The Gateway on Saturday night. Genuinely think if I ignore it, it means it will not have happened...
